JJ pre flop
Good old pocket Jacks.
Just a after a few thoughts here into how you play this hand pre flop.
Recently I have started to limp in with this hand, with the impression that if you hit a set on a flop like J A 7 you're likely to make a bit on this hand from anyone with the ace.
I guess the main reason is so often you get involved in pre flop battles with JJ only for a horrible flop to show and then you are at a loss as to where you stand if a Q K or A is flopped.
JJ is one of those hands were it is extremelly strong (if you hit the set) or hard to play if there is a strong looking flop. So is there any harm in just limping in with it? Plus if you havent commited too much to see the flop and Q K shows it is much easier to fold.
((I'm talking from the perspective of cash games, I think playing it aggressively in tournaments is important).
Basically, interested to hear if you think this play is wrong and it should be raised pre flop etc
